Boston University Men\u2019s Soccer (1-0-1, 0-0 PL) began Sunday\u2019s game against the nationally ranked University of New Hampshire (0-2-0) fighting to keep up. After a grueling 78 minutes, the Terriers pulled ahead, ultimately sealing a 1-0 victory to upset the No. 9 Wildcats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senior Ryan Lee put the game to bed by taking a left-footed shot and digging it into the back of the net.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wildcats dominated the first half, not afraid to involve their backline, and created numerous chances for themselves in the final third. While UNH spent most of the first half knocking on the door, the Terriers rose to the occasion. BU excelled at defending set pieces and fighting for 50\/50 balls, fending off 10 corner kicks in the first half alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

While BU played strong defense, they struggled to get the ball into UNH\u2019s half. The Terriers rarely connected passes and had trouble keeping possession of the ball, often losing it after clearances.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first half ended goalless despite UNH firing 11 shots to BU\u2019s one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the Wildcat\u2019s first-half domination, BU came into the second half with ambition and diligence. The Terriers started to push into the Wildcats\u2019 half, creating strong set pieces that led them towards the final third. The Wildcats\u2019 response to BU\u2019s slight infiltration was noticeable \u2014 their game pace increased, and the passing became more panicked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with less lopsided possession between the teams, the Wildcats still had far more shots in the second half (12) than the Terriers (2). Nearly every few minutes, UNH would come close to scoring, but couldn\u2019t deliver. Most of these chances came when the ball got played right across the box and just missed a Wildcat foot.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU\u2019s defensive efforts all game paid off late in the second half when Lee found the back of the net. The Terriers closed out the game, preventing UNH from encroaching their defense through the remaining 12 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terriers will have their home-opener against St. Joseph\u2019s on Friday at 6 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
